This movie is divisive because it takes some pretty big risks that make it unique in the genre. I went into it blind and ended up really enjoying the film because the characters are engaging and the drama they have is compelling. It's all about how people react to an outbreak.
The big twist, and it's kind of obvious to viewers, is that it isn't *really* a zombie movie. There are zombies in it, there are gun battles and a few bloody deaths, but these aren't the focus and for most of the movie we don't get much out and out horror.
The trope is largely turned on its head, because the people who are usually considered 'stupid' in a zombie movie e.g those who have compassion for the infected and those who trust the Government to fix it, actually aren't so dumb.
If you've watched endless zombie movies and want something slightly different to normal, I'd give it a shot.
